Step 1:

Start by preheating your French Press with hot water. Insert the plunger and let it rest for about 30 seconds.

 

Step 2:

Empty out the hot water and add 15g of freshly ground coffee to your French Press. Grind size should be medium.


Step 3:

Start the timer and pour water evenly over the grounds. Fill water to the top (240ml).


 

Step 4:

Give it a good stir to optimise the extraction. Place the lid back on and wait.



Step 5:

At 4 minutes, take the lid off and remove the crust with two spoons. 

 

Step 6:

Place the lid back on and press the plunger down slowly all the way to the bottom.


 

Step 7:

With lid firmly in place, pour into a mug or server. Voilà!
